FAQ

What is the Game Predictor?

The Game Predictor is your chance to put your basketball instincts to the test! For every matchup in the tournament, you’ll choose who you think will win and by how much. The more accurate your calls, the more points you’ll earn — and the higher you’ll climb on the leaderboard against fans from all around the world.

How do I play?

It’s easy! For every game:

  • Select the team you believe will take the win.
  • Choose the margin of victory from the available ranges.

How does scoring work?

Points are awarded based on how close your predictions are:

Correct Winner: 3 points

Perfect Prediction (Winner + Margin): +2 bonus points

Maximum per game: 5 points

Note: You must pick the correct winner to earn any points — no bonus for only guessing the margin right.

Can I change my predictions?

Yes, but only before the game begins.

You can edit your picks anytime before tip-off.

Once the game starts, all predictions are locked in.

What happens if there’s a tie on the leaderboard?

If two or more participants end up with the same total points, rankings will be decided by:

  • Most Perfect Predictions – More exact “winner + margin” calls rank higher.
  • Fewest Misses – Fewer completely wrong guesses give you the edge.
  • Perfect Streak – Longest chain of perfect predictions during the event.
  • Clutch Factor – If still tied, total points earned over the last 5 games decide the ranking.

Missed a few games?

No problem! You can still jump back in and keep playing — every correct prediction counts toward your total score

Is it free to play?

Absolutely! The Game Predictor is 100% free — just log in, start making your picks, and enjoy the fun.

Do I need an account?

Yes. You’ll need to log in or create an account to submit your predictions, track your progress, and appear on the leaderboard.

When are new games available to predict?

Each round’s games will be listed ahead of time. Make sure to check back regularly so you don’t miss the prediction window!
